Die KKNK (Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees) het al amper 20 jaar die land aan die brand. Dit is daartoe verbind om die kunste, kultuur en erfenis van Suid-Afrika deur die Afrikaanse taal aan te bied; wat mense van regoor die land en die wêreld bymekaar bring in een, een-stop-pret-atmosfeer.
Benewens die baie stalletjies wat vol kos, kurios, klere en juweliersware is, sal daar ook ‘n wêreld van ander aantreklikhede wees. Kunsgalerye sal die werk van talle plaaslike kunstenaars oopmaak en vertoon; wat wissel van beelde tot skilderye en tekeninge. Plekke rondom die dorp sal hul deure oopmaak vir die publiek; aanbieding van dansoptredes, dramatiese interpretasies, komiese stukke en meer.
Die Afrikaanse kultuur is bekend vir sy uitstekende kos, en die Klein Karoo is ‘n gewilde wynmakery. Dit maak die KKNK die ideale platform om van die lekkerste geure wat in Suid-Afrika geskep word, te geniet.
Datum:- 29 MAART – 4 AP

Marcato se tweede album, Vrede vir almal… wat onlangs bekend gestel is, beloof om hulle aanhangers met ’n splinternuwe klank en introspektiewe lirieke sowel as ’n stewige dosis sosiale kommentaar te verras. ’n Uiteenlopende verskeidenheid van temas soos identiteit, vriendskap, verhoudings, geldgierigheid, misdaad, oorlog, droogte en besoedeling word op dié album aangespreek deur ’n alomteenwoordige derdepersoonsverteller wat op al tien die snitte aan die woord is. Dit volg na die sukses wat Marcato aanvanklik as ’n drieledige groep oor die afgelope tien jaar reeds met hul debuutalbum, When his whistle blows bereik het.
Die titelsnit, Vrede vir almal… beklemtoon dat mense ten spyte van al die lewe se uitdagings slegs vrede sal kan vind deur hoop uit die verlede vir die hede sowel as die toekoms te put.
Die eerste enkelsnit vanaf dié album, Silhoeëtte beskryf algehele verlatenheid waartydens mense met die foute van hul verlede gekonfront

Hennie De Bruyn het homself nou al bewys as ’n kitaarkêrel wat nie net ’n kitaar kan slaan nie, maar ook weet hoe om deur middel van kitaarmusiek, die voete vas aan die dansbaan te hou.
Ons Suid Afrikaners is lief vir skoffel en boeredansmusiek vloei soos bloed in ons are.
De Bruyn was al die jare ’n ambagsman, maar het reeds op die ouderdom van tien jaar die kitaar bemeester. “Ek het eintlik in 1964 by oom Jan Brits en Chris Oberholzer leer musiek maak. Ek het altyd hul plate gekoop en daarop my kitaarspel beoefen.”
Veertig jaar later het hy maats bygekry wat ook ’n kitaar kan slaan, en saam is die kitaarkêrels meer gewild as ooit. Met meer as 22 albums en 3 DVD’s op hul kerfstok, wéét hierdie manne hoe om manne aan die skoffel te kry. Vir meer as nege jaar is hulle al benoem vir toekennings van SATMA, SAMA tot Ghoema’s en spog ook met ’n paar goue plate!
Hul splinternuwe album, Kalahari Skoffeltyd is vol gepak met

Die gewilde sanggroep ADAM (Hugo Ludik, Reynardt Hugo en Kyle Grant) se splinternuwe album, Bewe, is vanaf vandag landwyd en ook op digitale platforms beskikbaar. ’n Ekstra bederfie vir bewonderaars is ook hul musiekvideo vir die eerste enkelnit, Sê My (Bewe), wat pas vrygestel is. En dis iets wat jy wil sien.
Dié prettige tong-in-die-kies-video, wat deur Gerhard van Rooyen van GVR Productions vervaardig is, pas perfek by hierdie opgewekte poptreffer wat geïnspireer is deur stigterslid, Hugo Ludik, se eie mislukte pogings om ’n oulike meisie by ’n kroeg raak te loop. Dit is by Presleys in Pretoria verfilm en wys skreeusnaakse tonele van drie ouens, wat by drie ‘dames’ aanlê… maar daar is ’n catch, want die drie dames word ook deur die drie sangers gespeel! En sjoe, lyk hulle nie te ‘oulik’ nie…
Volgens Reynardt Hugo was dit baie pret om die video te skiet, maar ook nogal ’n groot uitdaging omdat hulle elkeen twee karakters moe

Bipartisan support for a proposal to raise the maximum fine for pirate radio to as much as $2 million emerged in the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology on Thursday. During a discussion into the proposed Preventing Illegal Radio Abuse Through Enforcement or “PIRATE” Act, which is being circulated among members, lawmakers agreed the current fines have come up short in the effort to go after pirate radio operators. “It’s high time we pay more attention to the harm being done to consumers and broadcasters alike,” Subcommittee chair Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said.
Federal law presently allows the Federal Communications Commission to impose a maximum fine of $19,246 per day for each violation or each day up to a statutory maximum of $144,344. The proposal would boost that to as much $100,000 per day, per violation with a maximum fine allowed by law of $2 million.
The impact of pirate stations may be well known to anyone in radio, but

Radio and broadcast equipment manufacturer GatesAir has developed a solution designed to cure the occasional hiccups that consumers experience as HD Radio signals lose their digital imprint and switch back to analog. This can create dropouts and temporarily interrupt an HD station’s seamless audio due to buffering.
“As the digital signal transitions to analog and back, the lack of proper time alignment prevents program linearity for the listener due to an eight-second delay between the analog and digital broadcast,” GatesAir explains. “Diversity Delay is a critical component of the HD Radio listening experience.”
Its solution: the fourth-generation Flexiva Importer/Exporter, combined with the company’s new FMXi 4g. Together, GatesAir says they have come up with “the industry’s first HD Radio Importer/Exporter solution to provide dynamic time and audio correction.” The GatesAir-exclusive algorithm inside the FMXi 4g “ensures proper t

Christian broadcaster Education Media Foundation continues its recent buying spree with the purchase of WSHA Raleigh-Durham, NC (88.9) from Shaw University for an undisclosed price.
The sale of the station from Shaw, known as the oldest historically black college in the South, has been met with criticism from alumni, with one group saying their offer to buy the station was met with silence.
When news of the intended sale of the radio station surfaced last December, a petition was formed on change.org, which collected nearly 2,000 signatures, the News & Observer reported. A group called “Friends of Shaw” was formed and claims to have made an offer to purchase the station from the University.
“Once we learned of their intent to sell WSHA, a group of alumni actually offered to purchase the station,” 1995 graduate Kesha Monk told the paper. “However, our efforts were blatantly ignored.” Since graduation, Monk went on to a professional career in the r
